WINTERHAVEN, Calif. (KYMA) – A sheriff’s vehicle and a government vehicle crashed into each other in Winterhaven.
Locals were impacted by the sudden road closure Wednesday evening due to the crash.
“It impacts me because I want to get home, I had a long day at work and know I have to wait and I don’t understand why I can’t make a right turn right there. I’m calmly waiting…he said 5 minutes so I’m waiting,” local resident Silvia Atando said.
The vehicle crash happened around 4 p.m. at the intersection of San Pasqual School Road and Picacho Road.
Locals say the intersection could benefit from new traffic safety measures to prevent crashes like this from occurring.
“Some kind of precaution or some kind of three-way stop, that’s what I would say,” Atando added.
The California Highway Patrol is leading the investigation. At this time, we do not know how this crash occurred.
